Lecture (Life Hack)

And Music For All -- The musician as citizen and classical music advocate.

Presenter: Christine Hoeffner

Music, the international language of the soul, has been shown to have enormous benefits mentally, physically, and emotionally. Yet today, the value of music education and orchestras is questioned and too often faces an unfriendly political climate. This talk will explore the intersection of the musician advocate, the government sector, and the private sector, discussing some music traditions (then), and what may need to be done now. Goals will include exploring ideas for what can be done to more effectively promote and preserve this most sacred treasure.
